Using Red-eye Reduction Flash

“Red-eye” is the phenomenon where eyes look reddish in photographs taken in dark environments with a ﬂash. This is caused by the reﬂection of the electronic ﬂash from the retina of the eye. Red-eye occurs because pupils are dilated in dark environments. This phenomenon cannot be averted but the following measures can be used to combat it.

●Brighten the surroundings when shooting.

●If using a zoom lens, set it to wide-angle and move in closer to your subject.

●Use a ﬂash that supports red-eye reduction.

●Avoiding the direct use of external ﬂash may reduce the “red-eye” in pictures.

The red-eye reduction function on this camera reduces red-eye by discharging the ﬂash twice. With the red-eye reduction function, the pre-ﬂash is discharged just before the shutter is released. This reduces pupil dilation. The main ﬂash is then discharged while the pupils are smaller, reducing the red-eye effect. To use the red-eye reduction function, set [Auto+Red-eye()] in Auto mode () and [Fill-In+Red-eye()] or [1st Curtain Sync.+Red-eye()] in other modes.
